Abstract. In this paper we study the $3$-dimensional $\left( \varepsilon \right) $-para Sasakian manifolds. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an $\left( \varepsilon \right) $-para Sasakian $3$-manifold to be an indefinite space form. We show that a Ricci-semi-symmetric $\left( \varepsilon \right) $-para Sasakian $3$-manifold is an indefinite space form. We investigate the necessary and sufficient condition for an $\left( \varepsilon \right) $-para Sasakian $3$-manifold to be locally $\varphi $-symmetric. It is proved that in an $% \left( \varepsilon \right) $-para Sasakian $3$-manifold with $\eta $-parallel Ricci tensor the scalar curvature is constant. It is also shown that every $\left( \varepsilon \right) $-para Sasakian $3$-manifolds is pseudosymmetric in the sense of R. Deszcz.
